Walk or Cart to Lake Sumter Landing! Our Village Gem - 5 Star - w/ Golf Cart

Welcome to Our Village Gem 2 – Steps from Lake Sumter Landing!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Stay in the heart of The Villages—only a 3-minute golf-cart ride or 7-minute walk to Lake Sumter Landing’s restaurants, shops, and nightly live music.

We named this home “Our Village Gem 2” because it’s our second Villages property and has the same comfort, care, and attention to detail that our guests love. The location, in the Village of Caroline, offers peace and privacy just steps from the action.

The Home
Enjoy an open, light-filled floor plan designed for relaxing or entertaining. After a round of golf or an evening at the Square, unwind on the sofa with the 55-inch Smart TV, or stream a favorite show in either bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils, and fresh linens and towels are provided—just bring your suitcase and settle in.

Perfect Location
Few homes are this close to Lake Sumter Landing. Walk, bike, or take the golf cart to restaurants, shopping, and free nightly entertainment.

Golf is free for Lifestyle ID holders on Executive Courses, with small fees for Championship play.

Great place to stay

The only difficulty we had was the fact we had an early flight out and we had to get up super early to wash the sheets and towels. Although, in all fairness I think that had I let them know, they may have said not to worry about it. They were very easy to work with. Would stay here again w/o any hesitation.

The Village Gem 2 lives up to its name😎

The property owners Bill and Laurel made sure that everything was just right for our stay. The house was clean, tastefully decorated and fully stocked with all of the essentials. It was in a prime location.... close to Sumter Landing/Town Squares, Caroline Pools and many golf courses!

Perfect Location and Lovely Home

My husband and I, along with our dachshund, spent a week at this home in early July 2024. The house was clean, with modern decor and a well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The beds and linens were very nice, and the living room furniture was quite comfortable. We also appreciated the YouTube TV for watching local news and weather while there. The location was very convenient for many things, including a grocery store, Lake Sumter Square, and golf courses. And it didn't take long to get to Spanish Springs via gold cart, either. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard for the dog.

Great location and home

This was our first visit to the Villages. The home was perfect for us. Two bedrooms, two baths, very clean and comfortable. Nice patio in back. Golf cart was great and a must have in the Villages. The location was perfect. Less than five minutes to the town square. Three championship golf courses within 10 minute golf cart ride. Pool nearby. Owners very helpful prior to arrival and during the stay. Our stay couldn't have been better. Thanks for a great trip.

Flawless Stay at the Village Gem!

We had a phenomenal stay at Bill and Laurel's Village Gem. From the moment we first chatted, prior to booking, all the way through our last day, we received the best hospitality and thoroughly enjoyed our home away from home. This unit is beautiful, clean and central to the most ideal sections of the Villages. My girls LOVED the golf cart--a highlight of our trip! We were in super close proximity to the square, the grocery store and community pools. Everything about the home was comfy and enjoyable. This was also the most well-equipped rental we have ever stayed in; the games and activities were an added bonus. Laurel and Bill were great. They were incredibly fast to reply when we needed anything and they were very flexible to our needs and requests. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy this little piece of Heaven again. Thanks so much, Bill and Laurel! ❤️

Great location

Nice property with a very easy golf cart ride to Sumter Landing!!! My only (but significant) gripe was the request to wash the sheets and towels before leaving the property. 1) This is presumably incorporated in the cost. 2) Who has time for this? I washed the sheets as a courtesy and still waited 20 mins for the wash to finish before we could leave. I would have waited another 40 mins had I washed the towels. Never mind had we used the spare bedroom and had two other loads of sheets and towels. And it was an older washing machine so there was no way to wash sheets and towels together.

Clean & comfortable

The owner was very pleasant to work with and was available pre, post & during our rental. The home was comfortable for 4 adults to relax and visit. Plenty of towels. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The bed in the 2nd bedroom, I was told was not comfortable, but when I checked the bed it seemed soft and quite possibly not supportive for some. The kitchen was fully equipped. We only made breakfast and had everything we needed, the option for drip coffee or Keurig coffee worked out for everyone. The golf cart availability was a plus. However, we didn't use it, as we didn't want to get caught in a rain storm. Enjoyed the close proximity to Sumter Landing/market square. Highly recommend and plan to visit again. enjoyed the

In Village of Caroline minutes from Lake Sumter Landing, stores, and restaurants. Short drive to Brownwood or Spanish Springs. We love going to hear music every night in a town square. Home is very clean and fully stocked. Golf cart very useful for short trips. Our second time booking this home, always excellent communication with owners. Private enclosed courtyard villa great for our dog. The beds and furniture are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. Home is pretty centrally located in villages for the many activities you will enjoy. TV's with multiple premium channels in every room.

Absolutely fantastic location!

This is a darling property and absolutely the best location. We really enjoyed our stay. The only two semi negatives were that we had to call the owner to adjust the thermostat, as the directions left for it weren’t accurate. Also, when we unmade the bed to wash the sheets, we found stains on the mattress pad. We washed it as well as the sheets. It will be clean for the next renters. 😄
